    Hot Toys Back to the Future II - 1/6th scale DeLorean Time Machine

    Have to commend Sideshow on their speed. Received last Thursday, sent back Friday morning, they just shipped it today, and the replacement arrives this Thursday!

    I’m liking the mirror in the back! I may need to copy that. How does one get a customized size mirror anyways?

    Hot Toys Back to the Future II - 1/6th scale DeLorean Time Machine

    My replacement from SS is now showing as “Processing”. So close. I get to open it up again! I’ll definitely be trying the upside down trick when I get it. One additional thing I’ll probably do is loosen both screws on each axle before folding the wheel down. That should completely alleviate any...

    This guy got a crack on the hood of his. Starting to look like a definite QC issue.

    Just dropped it off to UPS to send back it Sideshow. Fingers crossed Sideshow actually ships a replacement one out quickly! At least, now I know to loosen up both screws per wheel before folding the wheel down. Hoping for the best!

    Hot Toys Back to the Future II - 1/6th scale DeLorean Time Machine

    Just got a prepaid label to ship back so hopefully the replacement doesn’t get sent to the end of the current queue for Deloreans. Also, this may help others here. There is an additional screw above the first screw. Loosening this will definitely help you relieve some of the pressure from the...

    Hot Toys Back to the Future II - 1/6th scale DeLorean Time Machine

    Here is the area zoomed up. This is just after the single attempt to slowly and carefully flip it down. The thin plastic here is wearing down each time the metal ball and metal peg rub against it. They really should have used grease here. I see none whatsoever.

    I removed the screw to see what can be done at the moment. Not much. I can see the stress point is at that metal ball area pushing against the plastic. Hope this helps other folks see how the fragile mechanism works.

    Hot Toys Back to the Future II - 1/6th scale DeLorean Time Machine

    My exciting end of week came to a full stop too soon because of this defect with the wheel mechanism. I even made sure not to roll the wheels and had it lifted to prevent the wheels holding the weight of the Delorean. I was that cautious. I guess it didn’t matter. I’m quite bummed. Now my...

    Hot Toys Back to the Future II - 1/6th scale DeLorean Time Machine

    I did it extremely carefully and slow and it happened to one of them. I just submitted a request to sideshow so we’ll see what happens. Worst case I’ll try super glue. It sucks because this is the rear wheel on the driver side so it’s very visible.

    Same. Shipped sooner than I expected! Tracking says it won’t be here until next Thursday. Now hoping for safe delivery!

    It’s crazy how prices and required online taxes changed things. My total including shipping back in 2015/2016 for the Delorean was $709.08 USD total. The total now with tax and shipping for this new one is $962.55 USD total.

    Hot Toys Back to the Future II - 1/6th scale DeLorean Time Machine

    I preordered a year ago so doesn’t appear to be first come first serve. Also got the email. “Your DeLorean Time Machine item will be arriving into our warehouse in a few days. Your final payment is scheduled for 02/22/2023. We expect the piece to ship within the next 10 business days. Please...

    Starts half way into the video. This guy’s constant nonstop inflection though…..

    This is probably one of the better reviews so far. Close ups, comparisons, and everything is in focus and clear

    Sounds like they got it from Sideshow. I wonder when ours will start shipping from Sideshow as well. It was funny how they said they liked the light up wheel from the top! Honestly doesn’t bother me since you can’t see the bottom light anyways.

    I'm hoping we get some shots with the shades off so we can see his face sculpt.

    Finally got the strip lights in there and I think it looks great. Whoever thought of using a fish tank is genius. I was able to hide all of the lights on the top black frame.:clap

    The acrylic top came for the tank. Just have to cut a little notch for the adapter cable. Overall looks pretty good. I do need to put something on the bottom to lift the Delorean up higher. The bottom black edge obstructs the view of the wheels by a good half an inch. Next step is to put some...

    It looks like this one I've been eying on eBay for a while. https://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=272146086647&globalID=EBAY-US
